CCES – (Ottawa, Ontario – December 19, 2016) – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced today that Tristan Grosman, a U Sports football player from St. Francis Xavier University, received a sanction of four years for an anti-doping rule violation. The athlete’s urine sample, collected during out-of-competition doping control on April 24, 2016, revealed the presence of dehydrochlormethyltestosterone.
In response to the CCES’ notification of the adverse analytical finding, Mr. Grosman admitted the anti-doping rule violation and a hearing was held to determine the sanction length. Arbitrator Soublière imposed a sanction of four years ineligibility from sport, terminating April 25, 2020. The athlete, who resides in Kingston, Ontario, is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP), including training with teammates.

We recognize that true sport can make a great difference for individuals, communities and our country. We are committed to working collaboratively to activate a values-based and principle-driven sport system; protecting the integrity of sport from the negative forces of doping and other unethical threats; and advocating for sport that is fair, safe and open to everyone.
